The Statesman Journal of Salem, Ore., reports on the use of wireless graphing calculators at a local middle school. The calculators, purchased from Texas Instruments, enable students to participate in group math projects in the classroom. A math teacher said these caculators enable kids to quickly absorb lessons that would have taken weeks to teach without computer technology. “It really promotes a different level of discourse in the classroom,” says teacher Angie Ambert.
